Rhinoplasty may soon go the way of the dodo, as a team of scientists from the University of California have discovered a potential five minute, non-surgical nose job. According to BBC News, scientists discovered that the secret is using an electric current to temporarily soften cartilage into a malleable form.
Called electromechanical reshaping, or EMR, the process would be done under local anesthetic and works by inserting multiple small needles into cartilage to conduct a current.
“Once the tissue is floppy you can mold it to whatever shape you want,” said Dr. Michael Hill, one of the researchers on the team. The scientists explained that once the tissue has been “molded,” it will then harden and become a permanent change.
The team recently announced their findings at an American Chemical Society conference in Florida.
